HDR Frequently Asked Questions

High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a new video signal format which can deliver a wider range of brightness and colour compared to the Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) format, the decades-old specification currently employed by traditional HDTVs.

In general, HDR-enabled content played on an HDR-compatible TV produces a noticeably fuller, richer image, that’s closer to what the eye naturally sees. That means much deeper black levels that retain finer details; brighter highlights; and a much wider colour spectrum than is possible on older HDTV technology. Movies and TV shows will look more realistic, more true to life and much closer to what we actually see in ‘real life’.
